Review
...this book should be in every college and university library.
–Lawrence Besserman, Hebrew University, Speculum, Jan 2004
In short, I would say that everyone who teaches or is seriously interested in Chaucer should get a hold of this book.
–John Michael Crafton, Christianity and Literature, June 2003
Product Description
This edited collection explores how and why the Jews continued to play an important role in the English Christian imagination of the 14th and 15th centuries - long after Jews were expelled from Britain in 1290. Delany focuses attention on the historical context, the analysis of Chaucerian texts, and the consideration of texts by xonremporary authors Gower, Langland, Lydgate and Kempe.
